Selma

, just north of San Antonio, is a notorious speed trap. This 1993 file photo shows Selma police officer Tony Garland standing by a 1950 Hudson patrol car, outside the City Hall Grill, which used to the actual City Hall.

Reverse speed trap special mention:

It would be nice if the cops would set up a "reverse" speed trap on 151 *all of it* .... that highway is famous for left lane cruisers who text, put on make up, eat, talk on the phone etc ... while driving 45 in the left lane! -- mySA commenter.
